Boy, my results are very different. IE5 seems to be quicker and more
stable than IE 4.02 (the y2k compliant IE4.)

I've just started testing it and was considering making it the standard
browser at work.

Like the rest of Microsoft it appears Your Mileage May Vary.

Of course this is with the retail Win95 with the y2k patches rather than
OSR 2.x and without the active desktop stuff installed.

I'll have to test it on NT as well.
